Dirler-Cadé Riesling Kessler Grand Cru 2023

Vines from 1967 on Triassic sandstone and clay give this a quiet authority. Flint and reduction thread through the nose alongside crisp pear and green apple, then carry straight through to a palate that's stony, lean, and immaculately focused. Nothing here is showy, just pure, chiseled precision. Bone-dry.
